6 Things That Might Be Undermining Your Health by Coach Clint Facey

Ever feel like there’s just not enough time in the day to make the most of it? Well, it turns out that certain things or activities could be slowing you down and affecting your overall well-being. Let’s take a closer look at six factors that can have a long-term impact on your health.

1. Are you too comfortable?

Strange as it may sound, not having any discomfort in life could be holding you back! When we’re too comfortable in our health conditions, we lack the motivation to make necessary changes. It’s only when the pain becomes unbearable – whether physical, emotional, or mental – that we’re driven to act. So, ask yourself: What are you tolerating? What needs to change? Then, don’t wait until your health is at risk, demand change now.

2. Screen Time Overload

Screens are everywhere – phones, computers, TVs – and they can disconnect us from nature and disrupt our well-being. Dopamine, the feel-good chemical, shouldn’t come solely from screens. Go outside and see healthier sources of dopamine like sunlight, music, meditation, exercise, and even cold showers.

3. Old Beliefs

Sometimes, leaving behind old beliefs and patterns means leaving behind our old identities, which can be difficult. But to achieve what you desire, adopting new beliefs and patterns is essential. The way we talk to ourselves influences our behaviour and even our body’s response. Working with a coach can help you shift your old mindset to embrace new beliefs and upgrade your identity.

4. The Wrong Energy from the Wrong Foods

It’s no secret that what we eat affects our energy levels. But did you know that what you eat the day BEFORE can impact your energy? This is because certain heavy foods – like meat, pastas or processed foods – eaten the previous day can actually take energy away from restoration and force your body to use it for digestion instead. Opting for a healthy meal is great for boosting energy, but it’s equally important to choose the right foods the day before. Focus on fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, while avoiding processed convenience foods that will drain your energy.

5. The Busy Trap

Being constantly busy can prevent us from addressing our real problems. Prioritising others and distracting ourselves keeps us from facing our own issues. Taking time for stillness and self-reflection, such as through meditation, is a precious gift we can give ourselves. It’s crucial to honour our limitations and avoid burnout by allowing ourselves time to breathe and recharge.

6. Celebrating the Small Victories

Life is a journey, not just a destination. Celebrating small wins along the way is essential to staying motivated and feeling rewarded. Celebrations are acts of self-love that signal to our bodies that our efforts are worthy and that more rewards and results are within reach. So, acknowledge your progress, celebrate your achievements, and train your body to seek even greater rewards.
